    Received the package today. My plan is Saturday evening...maybe Friday.

    In the meantime, tonight, I had an Oliva Serie O Perfecto as a PPP puro palate primer.

    Sat down in the backyard to a cooling August late evening with a rye whiskey sour, Moby, and "The Nekkid Puro."

    Pre-light:
    The shameless stick measures 5" with an RG of about 50-52, with a flawless Colorado Maduro wrapper. Holding it to my nose, I sense sweet tobacco and hay. Upon clipping the triple cap with a double-bladed guillotine cutter, the draw is very easy (exactly how I like it) and I'm greeted with sweet tobacco.



    1st third:
    The torch lights the foot at 7:00 sharp. Immediately, billows of smoke surround me, which imparts a mild spiciness. I notice the smoke trickling from the foot and head is a blueish tint, something I'd only experienced from some "Blue Note" pipe tobacco I have. As it nears the end of this third, a sweet caramel comes to the forefront. The mostly white ash holds for just over an inch before gracefully exiting with the gentlest of taps.



    2nd third:
    The sweet caramel lingers for just a few moments before it and the spice fades back to tobacco. A gentle and relaxing nicotine buzz becomes evident. I realize, in retrospect, that the tobacco flavor, while tasty in and of itself, is an interlude to a show case of the many changes to come. As the ash drops again, a nearly indescribable flavor takes hold, umami.



    3rd third:
    The savory smoke whets my appetite for spice, riding a distinct yet subtle tobacco undercurrent. My taste buds detect a a slow strengthening of flavor as the cigar crescendos with caramel making a bold comeback accompanied by leather making its first appearance. As the cigar nears the nub--an hour after light-up, the original sweet tobacco returns, though more understated than before, and the light begins to flicker, as if to indicate it had given the performance of a lifetime and it was ready to say goodnight.



    Overall impression:
    This was a fantastic show with a cast of complementary characters that simultaneously stood out while working in harmony. Thank you, badwhale, for this experience.



    Guess:
    The stick's easy draw, spicy and sweet flavors, and understated strength reminds me of Perdomo, so I'm going to guess: Nicaraguan?

    PPP.S. My proposed puts are:
    - La Aurora Connecticut Preferido #1
    - Partagas Black Label Quattro
    - Plasencia Reserva Organica Robusto

    Sweet! It's a maker I hadn't smoked before, but have been eyeing. Thanks again.

    If there are no objections, the puro and pot will pass to prophetic_joe Monday.

    Got the pass today. It will be a bit before I smoke though guys. Came down with strep throat and a cold. Should be better by the weekend or next Monday. Sorry for the delay.

    Figures, I'm next. Please don't put your germy digits on the sticks. Hand sanitizer is your friend.








    Just kidding. Kind of.

    I always do a full lick down of all sticks I put in passes / trades etc. I haven't had any complaints of germ spreading yet...

    I imagine the burning will kill anything I have. Maybe.
